About 20,000 homes were without power in Northeast Philadelphia Thursday morning, reports PECO spokesman Bill Armstrong.
Most of the dark homes were in the Holmesburg section of the city, however, a handful of emergency customers such as hospitals have had their power restored by rerouting power from other areas, a spokesman says.
Armstrong says that there is an issue with one of the transformers at a substation at Rhawn and Ditman.
Power was restored around noon.
